A while back a couple IAP members agreed to cast me some Green Mountain Coffee beans for pen blanks. Previously I've posted a couple pens made from JayDevin casts. Here are two from castings I got from another IAP member, Modelmaker. The first is a slimline pencil made from roasted beans in a dark green resin (similar to GMCR logo green). The contrast is a little better than the photo shows. I had difficulty keeping the blank "clean", so it had some tiny flecks of "dust" in it, but learned a bit. The second is a slimline pen made from roasted beans in a light blue resin. I was able to keep this one quite a bit "cleaner". I have more blanks to work with and hope to imporve my skill at doing them. Folks I've showed the coffee pens to think they are pretty cool anyway. Any tips regarding making the coffee pens will be graciously accepted. Thanks for looking.
